Chris Murphy has thrown 2,610 pitches that have been tracked by the PITCHf/x system between 2023 and 2025, including pitches thrown in the MLB Regular Season and Spring Training. In 2025, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (94mph), Curve (76mph) and Cutter (87mph), also mixing in a Slider (78mph). He also rarely throws a Splitter (80mph), Change (84mph) and Sinker (93mph).
In 2025, compared to other LHP:
Their fourseam fastball generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' fourseamers, has much less armside movement than typical and has well above average velo. Their curve has an exceptional bite, is a real worm killer that generates an extreme number of groundballs compared to other pitchers' curves and has sweeping glove-side movement. Their cutter has heavy sink, has sweeping cut action and results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' cutters. Their slider is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' sliders, sweeps across the zone, results in more flyballs compared to other pitchers' sliders, has below average velo and has some two-plane movement. Their splitter comes in below hitting speed, has dives down out of the zone, has surprising cut action, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' splitters and generates fewer whiffs/swing compared to other pitchers' splitters. Their change (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 4 of them in 2025) is basically never swung at and missed compared to other pitchers' changeups, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' changeups, is slightly firmer than usual and has some natural sink to it. Their sinker (take this with a grain of salt because they've only thrown 2 of them in 2025) generates an extremely high number of swings & misses compared to other pitchers' sinkers, is an extreme flyball pitch compared to other pitchers' sinkers, has surprisingly little armside run, has little sinking action compared to a true sinker and has slightly above average velo.
